I tried,
mplayer -framedrop -vo xv test.avi
and
mplayer -framedrop test.avi
For both options I still get the stutter.
50% of my CPU is free when playing this file.
I finally figured out that this is an alsa problem. I created a
.asoundrc file and changed the buffer_size and it fixed the problem.
I found this example .asoundrc file on the web. I'm not sure if I
need all these options but it works. Thanks everyone for the help.
~/.asoundrc file that fixed the issue.
pcm.dsp {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
# period_time 84000
# period_size 2048
# buffer_time 340000
# buffer_size 16384
rate 44100
# rate 48000
period_size 1024
## buffer_size 4096
buffer_size 8192
}
bindings {

}
ctl.dmixer {
type hw
